In a democracy, people should respect the boundaries of law and should not go beyond the norms of democratic behaviour, newly-appointed Delhi Police Commissioner Bhim Sain Bassi said here today.
"People will get opportunity to articulate their anger. But remember, we are a democratic polity. In a democratic polity we have to respect the boundaries of law otherwise any expression of anger can be too anarchic," said Bassi at Shri Ram College of Commerce's (SRCC) Youth Conference.
Bassi said the moment people cross the norms of democratic behaviour, the results will be "disastrous".
Bassi, an alumnus of SRCC of 1975 batch, was felicitated at the conference for the laurels he has achieved during his career.
"My journey in SRCC was sweet and eventful. I still remember my teachers. Whatever I learnt from them, has helped me in my life," he said adding he never took interest to participate in debates during his college life.
"I must tell you all that everybody who gets into Shri Ram has some basic intellect and basic requisite qualification which can take you anywhere," he said.
The day-long youth Conference had debates and discussions where Kiran Bedi, Sonia Singh, Prabhu Chawla and host of other eminent personalities were present.
